Process (internal cycle)

Starting position before the cycle is called: The touch probe must be positioned at a start point manually or in automatic mode so that the probe can reach the reference edge in the measurement direction without collision. It stands vertically, i.e. the touch probe rotation stands at 0.

The internal cycle process can be described as follows:

  1. If there is a deviation, the spindle position is turned to its initial position
  2. The touch probe runs a measurement along the Y axis and back to the starting position. This measurement is repeated with the spindle turned through another 90 degrees until a total of four measurements are executed.
  3. The spindle is turned automatically back to its initial position
